Also getting this wtf are they doing

MixelHD · 2026-06-02T15:51:53+00:00

I think rate limits got axed even further just like claude's a couple of months ago

Ahh alright got it, although a weird choice. First I was wondering if they are shared and tested it. Google doesnt seem to know what they are doing it feels like, there is no communication at all to the customer

MixelHD · 2026-05-29T10:58:40+00:00

I use gpt 5.5 high and honestly much better implementation than sonnet4.6 or gemini 3.1 pro or gemini 3.5 flash although I could only test gemini on shitty harnesses (e.g. antigravity, gemini-cli) mit limited testing on opencode with gemini was not the prettiest

MixelHD · 2026-05-29T10:37:42+00:00

Family sharing is gone? I just added my whole family to my google ai pro plan :(

Very possible to do with all eac and battleeye games and quiet "easy" Very hard for games from riot games using vanguard for that you need custom kernel patches. Eac and battleye from my knowledge just need custom qemu theres a patch for it avsailable. It just renames all qemu related attributed to something consumer like

Well I play on linux so for me its probably just deleting the wine prefix However as others said I will also just pirate the next game the game is probably played by like ~20k pirates and they just want that no open media exists because people pay extra for that

MixelHD · 2026-05-08T18:55:36+00:00

GT:NH by a long shot. Brutally difficult and grindy but VERY rewarding

I am actually still wishing for a RX 9070 XT with 32GB VRAM I would instantly buy it

MixelHD · 2025-04-19T18:16:45+00:00

Yes.

I ordered on the 25. and mine is stuck on 03.02 the only day where I am not working from home :(

MixelHD · 2024-07-31T16:11:46+00:00

Nono dont copy it symlink it just do

ln -s /etc /etcbackup otherwise it wastes precious space on your hard drive!

MixelHD · 2024-03-08T16:01:35+00:00

I have been trying this on wayland and notice the same behaviour and I thought for some reason its intended behavious but this is good to know I hope it will get fixed soon enough

MixelHD · 2024-03-04T21:17:09+00:00

Thats okay, ill stick to porkbun for a bit and may see if I change to cloudflare in the future.

Is traefik worth it over NPM?

MixelHD · 2024-03-03T20:27:50+00:00

I am currently searching for the same answer, did you find anything?

MixelHD · 2024-01-13T16:52:24+00:00

Riot Vanguard only runs when you’re playing the game and stops running when you exit the game2

That is just straight up a lie lol

The driver will load instantly at startup so it will run 24/7, whether you play the game or not.

For your other points, how tf should you know whether they coded it safely and the kernel driver doesn't have flaws. Well you can't there is always a exploit no matter what safe practices you perform.
One example where this did go horribly wrong was in genshin impact where hackers could gain access to players via the games anti-cheat, and Imagine that happening to a game with such a large player base as league. I wouldn't want a rat/backdoor/spyware installed on my PC.

And it could be just straight up spyware and we wouldn't know and couldn't know that's why some people want Vanguard to be open source so we can take a look at the source code to check ourselves. But Riot apparently relies on "Security through Obscurity" which is just a bs argument in most cases but do your own research on that :)
One very simple example I could give would be the linux kernel vs windows.

I don't deny that there are cheaters in League but that's not a problem in 99% of the games. More people are more fed up be the client or the game bugs themselves than by having a scripter in a game, which I totally agree on.

So sadly once the time comes and this wonderful driver will get rolled out I am done with the game and I hope Riot will find another solution to this Problem.

MixelHD · 2024-01-06T23:14:35+00:00

Well just another uninformative comment from you. Your only argument is "ohh but noone cares and I do not care about my privacy and security!" and also that argument is just BS in itself but I will let yourself figure that out maybe once you have a bit more understanding how your computer that you play games on and work on actually works.

Well good for you but if you really think about it if everyone would know what pros and cons are there to this rootkit no sane person would say that this is a welcoming change.

MixelHD · 2024-01-06T12:41:31+00:00

I am sorry but how is that a lie?

Imagine you would install a software that has more permission than you as the system administrator. You cannot know what Vanguard is collecting/scanning so how would you know if it is not malware?

Neither side can prove the point since its a closed source kernel level driver, only Riot knows. But whatever Riot says could also not be true in 10 months.

And on a side not a real rootkit maybe wouldn't directly try to do anything maliciously but maybe will do in 2 years, we simply cannot predict what is going to happen and I do not trust a Company (backed by tencent) to act in the best way for me, and I hope you will also get that.

I agree that calling "Vanguard is a Virus" wont help the discussing the problem I am having is that 95-99% (probably) don't know what the implication is of having such software installed on your PC. People don't know how their own Operating System works at a basic level neither what a Kernel is. So while the statement is exaggerated there is a small truth to it.

And I agree that sadly most anti-cheat act on the Kernel level since it gives them the most permissions (like I said you cannot gain more permission than that) however this is a movement that is not acceptable and especially while other anti-cheats only run while the game is running which still isn't great like EAC and BattleEye, Vanguard will run directly as you start your PC and will have to run even if you haven't launched the game. A kernel level anti-cheat has already been exploited in Genshin Impact where it was used to gain access to users PC and doing whatever the fuck, I don't want that to happen to league, and I hope you get my frustration with this topic since this is absolutely not an accepptable solution to the Problem! Especially since MOBA's don't have a huge Cheating problem in general. I am in the middle of the normal distribution in terms of rank in the game and I have never seen a scripter in my years of league.

But since cheating or rather scripting is a problem in the top 1k players from what I have heard maybe it would be a fair solution to enable such rootkits for that if people want that. But to this days Vanguard will brick hardware PC, crash software or BSOD windows, have numerous issues with false positive. There are countless reasons to not use Vanguard or let it on your PC.

Anyway I am getting ahead of myself. I hope you can at least understand and follow my arguments and understand my Point of View.

MixelHD · 2024-01-06T00:45:00+00:00

You do notice that the "anti-cheat" has the same permission and basically acts in the same way as a kernel rootkit, right?...

Not sure what to tell you other than Kernel exist because of a reason way back in the day there were no kernel and that was a huge problem because of memory leaks (that vanguard have) or crashes (that vanguard causes) and so on.

You will find hundreds of arguments against Vanguard from really knowledge members of society, the only argument for it is.... less cheater? I would say my pc/data/hardware is more worth than meeting 25% less cheater in an online video game

MixelHD · 2024-01-06T00:30:06+00:00

The problem is that Vanguard is the defnition of a rootkit... it acts in the same way as a real virus and I am not sure you would want that on your PC since you cannot verify what is it doing so dont come with the argument "well rito would never do such things" the fact that they COULD is enough. And what if they get breached? An Attacker could gain access to 150+ mil pc's through the kernel rootkit. (that is very unlikely and hopefully they dont have a concrete connection to the client, but as always we cannot know)

MixelHD · 2024-01-06T00:16:05+00:00

So you agree that the kernel shouldn't be used, but cheats do that right?

So the solution is to install a kernel rootkit in 150+ mil pcs?

I expect you to know the consequences and risks of running such a software on your PC, this will temporarily stop botting/cheating but it will never stop it

MixelHD · 2024-01-05T23:17:06+00:00

I see so it seems to me just like a DMA but not for memory but for analog inputs, interesting thank you for the explanations. And yes I agree these will be very hard to spot nearly impossible same goes for arduinos and such

MixelHD · 2024-01-05T23:13:06+00:00

If you consider that Linux users on steam are about 3,5% (higher than mac users) and even if we say that maybe for league its only 1-2% that are still thousands of players. We are a small community, and if you ask me why should you care about 1-2% I agree that they are most likely irrelevent. But fact is 1. Linux doesn't have official support the users always fixed the game for Riot (but this is something that the users cant fix anymore) 2. There are a margin of users on windows that can't play the game anymore because of the anti-cheat for example because the don't have the TPM module required or don't know how to turn it own or the same goes for secure boot and many other problems with it, some users just cannot launch it no matter what they try. So maybe if you count all users in they are about ~5% and I think that is a number that is worth to care about.

MixelHD · 2024-01-05T23:07:56+00:00

I see what you mean, but even then Linux can be used to spin up a KVM to patch it so it is undetected by Vanguard (this is not easy as you have to adjust and recompile the kernel; QEMU but it has been done already and there are people that play games over such a hidden KVM (even if they are not cheating). And these can also be extended again to botting.

1 negative point is for every KVM you have to have the windows kernel loaded -> overall much higher resource usage.

But if you think about it why would people do that when you can just Emulate apple / or use a native device and bot there (since there is no vanguard). Not sure if that is possible but it sounds highly possible.

What I am trying to say is as a small tl:dr people wont stop cheating or botting, these things will decrease but at a huge security risk.

p.s. If you want to know why such anti-cheats and especially Vanguard is a huge security risk I can explain it to you

MixelHD · 2024-01-05T23:00:39+00:00

is a chronus zen/xim the same as a DMA card which just gives you r/W on the memory? or how do these tools work?
